Afrobeats star Davido has been appointed head of youth mobilisation for the Accord Party’s campaign council in Osun State, in a move aimed at energising young voters ahead of the August 2026 governorship election.
The Grammy-nominated artiste announced the appointment on X on Tuesday, stating that the decision was made by his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the Accord Party.
“I have been appointed by the Governor of Osun State @AAdeleke_01 and flag bearer of the Accord Party 01 as head youth mobilization of campaign council! We look forward to a smooth campaign and your re-election your excellency! 4+4,” Davido wrote.
The appointment comes as Adeleke, who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last year, positions the Accord Party as his vehicle for a second term in office.
The party has already cleared him as its sole governorship candidate.
Davido, who formally joined the Accord Party in December 2025 and received his membership card in Osogbo, is expected to leverage his widespread popularity and strong youth following to boost grassroots mobilisation across the state.
